Improvements list for next con:
--armored green hoop skirt
--more intensely glowing red and green eyes; I want them to glow like clock dials in the middle of the night
--rotating Hello Kitty beam (LED lights, tube, electric motor, cutouts)

Yep, Warhammer players (who have more money to waste than we do) obsess about the giant shoulder things. I think this is because they are all 14 years old in some way or other, regardless of how many times their tabletop-RPG pencilneck selves have orbited the sun. I should mention that I know some of these people who are, weirdly, handsome and smart. I have no idea why.
Yep, at 6' 2" and 264#s, I don't attempt the kawaii effect. Fear, on the other hand, is pretty easy to generate, especially in elevators and dark, moldy stairwells.

Yeah, I do most of the assembly of these outfits the week before a convention. Lots of molding, drilling, filing, sanding, painting, etc...I enjoy making the stuff almost as much as I enjoy going to the convention.
Last year when I made the giant shoulder things out of papier-mache, it RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED and nothing dried...I had to stick them in the oven one at a time to dry them after a week of rain.
All that rain is pretty rare in Texas, I guess it's climate change...soon the northern ice cap will melt, the influx of fresh water will shut down the Gulf Stream, and the next Ice Age will begin. For me, this means that in a thousand or 5,000 years, my neighborhood will be a rainy, misty oak and juniper forest, like it was 12,000 years ago when the Mississippi was an Amazon-wide braided river draining all of Canada and the mammoth roamed in Arlington, Texas (their range was mostly to the west of here, but some came out onto the rolling forested hills of the Metroplex)

I enjoy creating mins much more than gaming - I'm way to unlucky with bloody d6s!
So you too use papier-mache? I always wished i'd learn to hot-shape plastic, but i never got to it, so i used to mess with it too; weirdly I almost returned to it too, as one friend of mine needed a Venicean carnival mask for this Saturday (but another friends of ours had one, so it wasn't necessary).
